domestic use for the preparation of food only. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use of the appliance.

This appliance is not intended for

use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised whilst using it or have been shown how to use it by a person responsible for their safety.

Warning and safety instructions

Safety with children

Use the safety lock to prevent

children operating the appliance or altering the settings.

Keep children away from the

appliance at all times. It is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

Older children may use the

appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse. They must be aware of the potential dangers caused by incorrect operation.

The appliance gets hot when in use

and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.

Keep all pans out of reach of

children. Turn pan handles inwards away from the edge of the hob. Danger of burning or scalding. Special hob guards are available from good retail outlets.

Packaging, e.g. cling film,

polystyrene and plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Do not store anything which might

arouse a child's interest in storage areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.

Warning and safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installation, check the

appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance is dangerous.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Before connecting the appliance,

make sure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

Never open the housing of the

appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

During installation, maintenance and

repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– the mains fuse is disconnected,

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable),

–

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator.

For safety reasons, this appliance

may only be used after it has been built in.

Warning and safety instructions

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original spare parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

If the connection cable is damaged,

it must be replaced by a suitably qualified electrician with a specialist connection cable of type H 05 VV-F (pvc insulated), available from the Miele Spare Parts Department.

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Do not use the hob if the ceramic

surface is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch it off im mediately, and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply. Danger of electric shock.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Correct use

For people fitted with a heart

pacemaker: Please note that the area immediately surrounding the hob is electromagnetically charged, and that it is very unlikely to affect a pacemaker. However, if in any doubt, consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.

To prevent damage to items which

are susceptible to magnetic fields, e.g. credit cards, diskettes, pocket calculators etc, do not leave them in the immediate vicinity of the hob.

The appliance gets hot when in use

and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual heat indicators go out.

Do not leave the appliance

unattended whilst it is in use. Pans that have boiled dry can cause damage to the ceramic surface for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause a fire.

If, despite this, oil or fat does catch

fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with water. Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

Warning and safety instructions

For added protection, it is advisable

to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.

Do not flambé under a cooker hood.

The flames could set the cooker hood on fire.

Do not use the appliance as a

resting place for anything else. Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal objects on the appliance. When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal objects heating up, with a danger of burning. Depending on the material, other objects left on the hob could also melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface and be difficult to dislodge. Switch the cooking zones off after use.

Do not cover the appliance, e.g.

with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance is switched on by mistake.

Do not heat up unopened tins of

food on the hob, as pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode. This could result in injury and scalding or damage.

Do not use pots and pans on the

ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.

Never heat an empty pan unless the

manufacturer of the pan expressly states that you can do so. Because induction heating works extremely quickly the base of the pan could heat up to the temperature at which oil or fat self-ignites within a very short time.

Keep the hob clean. Grains of salt,

sugar and sand (e.g. from cleaning vegetables) can cause scratches.

Never place hot pans on the area

around the controls. This could damage the electronic unit underneath.

Do not drop anything on the ceramic

surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

containers. These melt at high temperatures, and could catch fire.

Warning and safety instructions

Do not allow either solid or liquid

sugar, or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, switch off the appliance, and carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scaper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. If residues are allowed to cool before being removed, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking. Once the residues have been removed, allow the appliance to cool down, and then clean with a suitable proprietary ceramic hob cleaner.

When using an electric socket near

the hob, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with a hot cooking zone. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Metal utensils stored in a drawer

under the hob can become hot if the induction hob is used intensively for a long time.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. Therefore, when cooking or reheating food such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

If the hob is built in over a pyrolitic

oven, the hob should not be used whilst the pyrolitic process is being carried out, as this could trigger the overheating protection mechanism on the hob (see relevant section).

This appliance is fitted with a

cooling fan. If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the hob, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer and its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the hob. Do not store pointed or small items or paper in the drawer. They could get in through the ventilation slots or be sucked into the housing by the fan and damage the fan or impair cooling.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other

inflammable substances must not be stored in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre or contact you dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person.

Before using for the first time

Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service, data plate" section of this booklet.

Cleaning for the first time

Remove any protective wrapping and adhesive labels.

Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry.

Do not use washing-up liquid to clean the ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen which may be difficult to remove.

Before using for the first time

On hobs with bevelled glass edges, a small gap may be visible between the hob and the worktop during the first few days after installation. This gap will reduce with time as the appliance is used and will not affect the electrical safety of your appliance.

When the appliance is used for the first time, it may give off a slight smell. The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time. They are not harmful and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance.

Induction

The induction principle

An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When a cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indirectly by the heat given off by the pan.

An induction cooking zone only works when a ferromagnetic pan is placed on it (see "Pans").

Induction automatically recognises the size of the pan, i.e. heat is only generated in the area covered by the base of the pan.

The cooking zone will not work:

– if it is switched on without a pan in

place, or if the pan is unsuitable (non-magnetic base).

– if the diameter of the base of the pan

is too small.

If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone within 3 minutes, the ß will go out and you can continue as normal.

If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the cooking zone, the cooking zone and the hob will switch off automatically after 3 minutes.

Take particular care never to place cutlery or other metal objects on the hob. When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal items heating up with the danger of burning. Switch the cooking zones off after use.

–

if the pan is taken off the cooking zone when it is switched on.

If this happens, ß will flash in the relevant cooking zone display alternating with 0 or the power setting selected .

Induction

Noises

When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed.

On the higher power settings, it

–

might buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power setting is reduced.

If the pan base is made of layers of

–

different materials (e.g. in a sandwiched base), it might emit a cracking sound.

– Whistling might occur if linked zones

(see "Booster function") are being used at the same time, and the pans also have bases made of layers of different materials.

– You might hear a clicking sound from

the electronic switches, especially on lower settings.

The appliance has a cooling fan to help extend the life of the electronics. When the hob is being used intensively, this will come on and you will hear a whirring sound. The fan may continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.

Induction

Pans

Suitable pans include:

stainless steel pans with a magnetic

–

base

enamelled steel pans

–

cast iron pans

–

Unsuitable pans:

stainless steel pans without a

–

magnetic base

aluminium and copper pans

–

– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots

and pans

To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an induction hob, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.

Please be aware that the properties of the pan base can affect the eveness with which food heats up in the pan.

Pan size

To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans with base diameters larger than the innermost markings but smaller than the outermost markings. If the base diameter of the pan is smaller than the innermost marking, the induction heating will not work. The zone will behave as if it had no pan on it.

Please note that the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturers often refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more important.

Tips on saving energy

Use a lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.

Uncovered Covered

Use

Sensor switches

This hob is equipped with electronic sensor switches which react to finger contact. To operate a cooking zone, touch the relevant sensor. Each time you touch a sensor switch, an audible tone sounds.

Take care only to touch the middle of the sensor required. Keep the control panel clean, and do not place anything on top of it. The sensors may fail to react or they could mistake the article or any dirt for a fingertip contact, thereby activating a function or even causing the hob to switch off automatically (see Safety switch-off.) Never place hot pans on the sensor switches. The electronic unit underneath could get damaged.

Switching on

The hob must be switched on before any of the zones can be used.

Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used.

To switch the hob on

Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.

0 appears in each of the cooking zone displays. If no further entry is made, the hob will switch itself off after a few seconds for safety reasons.

To switch a cooking zone on

^ Select a power setting between 1 and

9 or the keeping warm function by

touching the - or + sensor.

To select cooking with Auto heat-up, press the - sensor first (see "Auto heat-up"). To select cooking without Auto heat-up, press the + sensor first.

If you wish to switch on another cooking zone, and the 0 for that zone has already gone out, simply press the

- or + briefly. The 0 will reappear and you can select a power setting (with or without Auto heat-up).

Heat-up time

in minutes and

seconds (approx.)

When Auto heat-up has been activated, the cooking zone switches on automatically at the highest setting and then switches to the continued cooking setting which you have previously selected. The heat-up time depends on which continued cooking setting has been chosen (see chart).

Taking a pan off the zone whilst Auto heat-up is in operation interrupts the Auto heat-up. It will resume if a pan is placed back on the zone within 3 minutes.

To activate Auto heat-up

^ Press the - sensor until the required

continued cooking setting appears, e.g. 6.

* The continued cooking settings with

a dot after the number are only available if the power level range has been extended (see "Programming").

During the heat-up time an indicator lamp to the right of the continued cooking setting will light up, and go out at the end of it.

At any point during the Auto heat-up time you can use - or + to lower or increase the continued cooking setting. The Auto heat-up time will alter accordingly.

In the extended range of settings (see "Programming - P2"), A flashes alternately with the continued cooking setting until the heat-up time has finished.

Use

Booster function

The cooking zones are equipped with Single (l) or Twin Boosters (I/II) (see "Guide to the appliance").

When activated, the power is boosted so that large quantities can be heated quickly, e.g. boiling water for cooking pasta. When Booster l is activated, the cooking zones will operate with extra power for 10 minutes and when Booster II is activated with extra power for 15 minutes.

The Booster function can only be used on two cooking zones at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.

If the Booster function is switched on when

– no setting has been selected, the

cooking zone will revert automatically to setting 9 at the end of the Booster time or if the Booster function is switched off before this.

The extra boost of energy is only available by taking a proportion of energy away from another cooking zone. For this reason, the cooking zones are networked in pairs as shown.

When the booster is switched on, the following happens:

if Auto heat-up is activated on either

–

zone in the same network, this will be switched off.

– the power level on the other linked

cooking zone will sometimes decrease.

When Booster II is switched on, the linked cooking zone is switched off.

–

a setting has been selected, the cooking zone will revert automatically to the setting selected at the end of the Booster time or if the Booster function is switched off before this.

Taking a pan off the zone whilst the Booster is in operation interrupts the Booster function. It will resume if a pan is placed back on the zone within 3 minutes.

Use

To activate Booster l

If necessary, switch on the required

cooking zone.

Touch the B sensor for the relevant

cooking zone.

I will show in the cooking zone display,

and the indicator lamp for the Booster function will also light up.

To activate Booster II

If necessary, switch on the required

cooking zone.

Touch the B sensor for the relevant

cooking zone.

I will show in the cooking zone display,

and the indicator lamp for the Booster function will also light up.

^ Touch the B sensor again for the

relevant cooking zone.

II will appear in the display for the cooking zone.

To deactivate the booster function

The booster function can be cancelled early.

Touch the B sensor for the relevant

cooking zone repeatedly until the indicator lamp for the Booster function goes out in the display, and a setting appears instead; or touch the - sensor for the relevant cooking zone.

Use

Keeping warm

Each cooking zone has a keeping warm function.

If the keeping warm function has been activated, the cooking zone will switch off automatically after a maximum of 2 hours.

This function is for keeping food that has just been cooked warm, i.e. food that is still hot. It is not for reheating food that has gone cold.

Useful tips

Only use pans for keeping food warm. Cover the pan with a lid.

You do not have to stir food while it is being kept warm.

Nutrients are lost when food is cooked, and continue to diminish when food is kept warm. The longer food is kept warm for, the greater the loss of nutrients. Try to ensure that food is kept warm for as short a time as possible.

Use

Switching off and residual heat indicators

Switching off a cooking zone

Touch the - and + sensors for the

zone you want to switch off at the same time.

A 0 will light up in the display for that zone for a few seconds. If the cooking zone is still hot, residual heat will then be indicated in the display.

Switching off the hob

^ Touch the ON/OFF sensor s.

This switches off all cooking zones. The residual heat indicator will appear in the display of any cooking zone which is still hot.

The lines of the residual heat indicator go out one after another as the cooking zones cool down. The last horizontal line only goes out when the cooking zone is safe to touch.

The residual heat indicators also react to hot dishes and plates being placed on a cooking zone that is not switched on.

Do not touch any zone or place any heat sensitive items on a zone where the residual heat indicators are lit up.

Please note that the residual heat indicators do not light up if there is a fault message, even if the cooking zones are still hot.

Timer

The timer can be used for two different functions:

To set the minute minder

–

To set a cooking zone to switch off

–

automatically.

You can select a time from 1 minute (01)to9 than 99 minutes (99) is set, the time is set in half-hour steps. The half hour is indicated by a dot after the number.

Use the - sensor to reduce the time from 9.^ to 00, and the + sensor to increase the time from 00 to 9.^. The display stops at 2h and at 99. To continue entering the setting, briefly remove your finger from the sensor, and then touch it again.

When the set time has elapsed, 00 will appear in the timer display for a few seconds. An audible tone will sound at the same time. To turn the audible tone off before it has finished, touch the m sensor.

/2hours (9.^). If a time of more

Minute minder

To set the minute minder time

The minute minder can be used with the hob switched on or off.

Touch the m, - or + sensor.

00 appears in the timer display, and the minute minder indicator lamp will flash.

Whilst the indicator light is flashing,

touch the - or + sensor until the time you require appears in the display, e.g. 15 minutes.

The time then counts down in minutes. The time remaining can be seen in the display and changed at any time by touching - or +.

To delete the minute minder time

Touch the - and + sensors at the same time.

To switch a cooking zone off automatically

It is only possible to programme a cooking zone to switch off automatically if a power setting has already been selected for that zone. All of the cooking zones can be programmed at the same time.

If the time programmed is longer than the maximum operational time allowed, the cooking zone will switch off after the maximum time allowed (see relevant section).

^ Select a power setting for the zone

you require, e.g. back right, in the usual way.

^ Touch the m sensor.

00 appears in the timer display, and the minute minder indicator lamp will flash.

^ Touch the m sensor again.

Timer

Touch the - or + sensor until the time

you require appears in the display, e.g. 15 minutes.

The time then counts down in minutes. The time remaining can be seen in the display and changed at any time by touching - or +.

If you want to set another cooking zone to switch off automatically, follow the same steps as described above.

If more than one switch-off time is programmed, the shortest time remaining will show in the display, and the indicator lamp for that particular cooking zone will flash. All the other indicator lamps will light up constantly. If you want to check on the remaining time for another zone, touch the m sensor until the indicator lamp for the zone you require flashes.

The indicator lamp for the minute minder in the timer display goes out, and an indicator lamp for automatic switch-off of a cooking zone flashes.

If several cooking zones are being used, touch the m sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamp flashes next to the cooking zone you wish to use this function for, e.g. back right.

The indicator lamps for the cooking zones being used light up clockwise, starting with the front left.

Timer

To use both timer functions at the same time

The minute minder and automatic switch-off functions can be used at the same time.

If you have programmed in one or more switch-off times, and would like to use the minute minder as well: Touch the m sensor repeatedly until the minute minder indicator lamp flashes.

If you are using the minute minder, and would like to programme in one or more switch-off times as well: Touch the m sensor repeatedly until the indicator lamp flashes for the cooking zone required.

Shortly after the last entry, the shortest remaining time will come up in the display. If you want to check on the remaining time for another zone, touch the m sensor until the indicator lamp for the zone you require flashes.

Starting with the shortest remaining time which is showing in the display, all cooking zones that are in use and the minute minder are selected clockwise.

Safety features

Safety lock/System lock

Keep children away from the hob for their own safety.

Your appliance is equipped with a safety lock to prevent the hob and the cooking zones being switched on or any settings being altered.

The safety lock is activated when the hob is switched on. If the safety lock is activated:

The settings for the cooking zones

–

and the timer settings cannot be changed.

– The cooking zones and hob can be

switched off, but once switched off cannot be switched on again.

The system lock is activated when the hob is switched off. If the system lock is activated, the hob cannot be switched on and the timer cannot be used.

The hob is programmed in such a way that the system lock has to be operated manually. The settings can be changed so that the system lock is activated automatically five minutes after the hob has been switched off (see "Programming").

To activate the locks

Touch the $ sensor until the relevant

indicator lamp comes on.

The indicator lamp will go out after a short while.

You can alter the setting from one-finger to three-finger operation (see "Programming") to make it harder for children to operate the appliance.

To deactivate the locks

Touch the $ sensor until the indicator

lamp goes out.

If a sensor switched is touched when the safety lock or the system lock is activated, the indicator lamp comes on.

The safety lock and the system lock are deactivated in the case of a power cut.

Safety features

Stop and Go

Your appliance has a Stop and Go feature which, when activated, reduces the power of all switched-on cooking zones to setting 1. When Stop and Go is deactivated, the cooking zones resume at the power level which was last set. If Stop and Go is not deactivated, the hob switches off after 1 hour.

If you wish to use this feature, you will need to alter the factory setting (see "Programming").

If automatic switch-off is programmed for a cooking zone, activating Stop and Go will interrupt the count down to the switch-off time. When Stop and Go is deactivated, the automatic switch-off programme time will continue to run without further interruption.

If a minute minder time has been set, this will continue running and will not be affected by Stop and Go.

To activate Stop and Go

Touch the $ sensor until you hear

two consecutive beeps. Be careful not to continue touching the $ sensor for too long, as this will activate the safety lock.

The indicator lamp for the safety lock will start to flash. The power of the cooking zones in use will be reduced to setting 1, and a 1 will appear in the corresponding cooking zone displays.

To deactivate Stop and Go

^ Touch the $ sensor until the indicator

lamp goes out.

The cooking zones will now run at the level that was previously set.

Safety features

Safety switch-off

Your hob is fitted with a safety switch-off feature in case you forget to switch it off yourself.

Safety switch-off with an over-long cooking time

If one of the cooking zones is heated for an unusually long period of time (see chart), and the power settings are not altered, the hob will switch itself off automatically and the appropriate residual heat indicator will appear.

To use the cooking zone again, switch it back on in the usual way.

Safety switch-off if the sensors are covered

Your hob will switch off automatically if one or several of the sensors remain covered for longer than 10 seconds, for example, by finger contact, food boiling over or by an object such as an oven glove or tea towel. An audible tone will sound every 30 seconds (for a maximum of ten minutes) and an F will flash in the display for the sensor switch which is covered.

^ Clean the control area or remove the

obstruction.

This will turn off the tone and the F will go out.

^ Switch the hob back on again with

the ON/OFF sensor s. The cooking zones can now be used again as normal.

Safety features

Overheating protection

All the induction coils and the cooling elements for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. To prevent the induction coils and cooling elements from overheating, the overheating protection mechanism works on the affected cooking zone or on the entire hob in the following ways:

If the Booster function is being used,

–

this will be switched off.

The power level will be reduced.

–

– If an induction coil is affected, the

error message FE99 appears and the hob switches itself off.

The error message will go out, and the residual heat indicator will appear in the display of any cooking zone which is still hot.

The hob can only be used again when the induction coil has cooled down sufficiently.

Overheating can be caused by:

Heating up an empty pan

–

Fats or oils being heated up on the

–

highest power setting.

There being insufficient ventilation to

–

the underside of the appliance.

If the overheating protection mechanism triggers again, contact the Service department.

–

If a cooling element is affected, the power supply to the cooking zones will be reduced, and the set power level will continue to be displayed.

As soon as the cooling element has cooled down sufficiently, the cooking zones will automatically continue to operate at the original power setting.

Do not use a steam cleaning

appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Cleaning and care

To avoid damaging the outer surfaces of your appliance, do not use:

cleaning agents containing soda,

–

alkalines, ammonia, acids or chlorides,

The appliance should be cleaned regularly, preferably after each use. Allow it cool down to room temperature before cleaning. To avoid water marks and limescale deposits, use a soft cloth to dry surfaces that have been cleaned with water.

cleaning agents containing

–

descaling agents,

stain or rust removers,

–

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

–

powder cleaners and cream cleaners,

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

– dishwasher cleaner,

– grill and oven cleaners,

– glass cleaning agents,

– hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,

e.g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,

–

sharp, pointed objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface and the surrounding frame, and between the frame and the worktop.

Cleaning and care

Ceramic surface

Wipe all coarse soiling off using a damp cloth. Stubborn soiling may need to be removed with a shielded scraper blade.

Then clean the hob with a suitable proprietary ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see "Optional accessories") applied with kitchen paper or a clean cloth. Do not apply cleaner whilst the hob is still hot, as this could result in marking. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Finally, wipe the hob with a damp cloth, then polish with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure that all cleaner residues are removed. Residues can burn onto the appliance the next time it is used, and cause damage to the ceramic surface.

Spots caused by limescale, water and aluminium residues (spots with a metalic appearance) can be removed using the ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner.

Should any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil spill or fall onto a hot cooking zone while it is in use, first switch off the appliance. Then carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the hob whilst they are still hot, using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. Allow the appliance to cool down, and then clean as described above with a suitable proprietary ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner.

Programming

You can change the default settings of the programme options (see chart).

With the hob switched off, touch the

hob ON/OFF sensor s and the safety lock sensor $ at the same time until the indicator lamp for the safety lock flashes.

A P (Programme) and an S (Status) will appear in the cooking zone display with a number which shows the current setting (see chart).

First select the programme you want

by touching the + or - sensor for the front left cooking zone, then select

the required status by touching the + or - sensor for the front right cooking zone (see chart). You can alter several programmes one after the other in this manner.

To store the new settings in memory, touch the hob ON/OFF sensor s until the displays go out. If you do not wish to store the settings in memory, touch the safety lock sensor $ until the displays go out.

Problem solving guide

Installation work and repairs to

electrical appliances must only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Ensure that current is not supplied to the appliance until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.

What to do if...

... the hob or cooking zones cannot be switched on

Check whether

– the pans being used are suitable.

... there is a strange smell or vapours when a new appliance is being used.

The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance, and neither are they hazardous to health.

... the hob can be switched on and settings selected, but the cooking zones do not heat up

Check whether you set the demo-mode setting by mistake (see "Programming P0").

... ß appears in the display for a cooking zone.

Check whether

– the zone was switched on by mistake

without a pan on it.

– the safety lock is activated.

If necessary, deactivate it (see "Safety lock").

–

the mains fuse has tripped.

If none of the above is the case, then disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply for approx. 1 minute. To do this:

–

switch off at the wall socket, or switch off at the isolator, or

–

disconnect the mains fuse.

Reset the trip switch in the mains fuse box, and switch the appliance back on. If it still will not switch on, contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Service Department.

– the pan being used is suitable for

use on an induction zone, and that it is large enough (see "Pans").

... an individual cooking zone or the whole hob has switched itself off automatically

The safety switch-off feature or the overheating protection mechanism has been triggered (see "Safety switch-off" and "Overheating protection").

Problem solving guide

... one of the following has occurred:

The Booster has deactivated early

–

automatically.

The power level has been reduced.

–

The cooking zone is not working in

–

the usual way at the power level set.

The overheating protection mechanism has been triggered (see "Overheating protection").

... the food in the pan hardly heats up or does not heat up at all when the Auto heat-up function is switched on

This could be because:

– there is too much food in the pan.

– the pan is not conducting heat

properly.

Select a higher continued cooking setting next time, or start cooking at the highest setting and then turn down to a lower setting manually later on.

... The cooling fan continues to run after the appliance has been switched off.

This is not a fault. The fan will continue running until the appliance has cooled down. It will then switch itself off automatically.

... an F appears in the display for the rear cooking zones, an E appears in the display for the front cooking zones and numbers appear in the timer display.

FE99: The overheating protection mechanism for the induction coil has been triggered. The cooking zone can be used again as soon as it has cooled down to a safe level.

With other fault messages: Interrupt the power supply to the hob for approx. 1 minute.

If the problem persists after reconnecting the appliance to the power supply, please contact the Miele Service department.

Optional accessories

Miele appliances are designed to give the best possible results and years of satisfaction. To help you get the most from your appliance, Miele has put together a comprehensive range of accessories and cleaning products.

These can be ordered via the internet at:

or from Miele (see back cover for contact details) or from your Miele dealer.

Miele|home system

Miele|home enabled appliances use the existing household power supply (Powerline technology) to transfer data to the Miele|home master appliance (SuperVision appliance with the InfoControl unit). You can use the master appliance to call up information about Miele|home appliances, such as the operational status or fault messages at any time.

The Miele| system allows certain hobs to be linked to certain cooker hoods (Con{ctivity). The cooker hood responds automatically to the hob setting, controlling the power level and lighting accordingly.

Safety instructions for installation

Fit wall units and extractor hood before fitting the hob to avoid damaging the surface.

The veneer or laminate coatings of

worktops (or adjacent kitchen units) must be treated with 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which will not dissolve or distort. Any backmoulds must be of heat-resistant material.

This equipment may only be used in

mobile installations such as ships, caravans, aircraft etc. if a risk assessment has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

The hob may not be built in over a

fridge, fridge-freezer, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine or tumble dryer.

After installing the hob, ensure that

the connection cable cannot come into contact with the underside of the appliance. Make sure that there is no mechanical obstruction, such as a drawer, which could damage it.

Observe carefully the safety

distances given on the following pages.

Do not use any sealant except

where expressly instructed to do so. The seal underneath the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the worktop (See "General installation tips").

All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.

These hobs must not be installed

above ovens or cookers unless these have a built-in cooling down fan.

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distance above the appliance

A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the appliance and the cooker hood above it. See the cooker hood manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for details.

If the manufacturer's instructions are not available for the cooker hood, a minimum safety distance of at least 760 mm must be maintained. For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc. a minimum distance of at least 760 mm must be maintained between them and the appliance below.

When two or more appliances are installed together below a cooker hood, e.g. a gas wok and a ceramic hob, which have different safety distances given in the installation instructions, you should select the greater distance of the two.

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distances to the sides and back of the hob

Ideally the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit or wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider should stan d higher than the hob (see illustrations).

The following minimum distances should be adhered to for safety reasons:

50 mm to the right or left of the

–

worktop cut-out to the nearest piece of furniture (e.g. tall unit).

– 50 mm from the worktop cut-out to

the rear wall.

Not allowed

Recommended

Not recommended

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distances underneath the hob

To ensure sufficient ventilation to the hob, a certain gap must be left between the underside of the hob and any oven, interim shelf or drawer.

The minimum gap between the underside of the hob and

the top of an oven is 15 mm.

–

the top of an interim shelf is 15 mm.

–

A space of at least 10 mm must also be left at the back to accommodate the cable.

– the base of a drawer must be

75 mm.

Safety instructions for installation

Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional niche cladding

There must be a minimum distance of 50 mm between the niche cladding and the worktop cut-out. This distance is only necessary for niche cladding made of wood or any other combustible material. For non-combustible materials (metal, ceramic tiles or similar), this dimension can be reduced by the thickness of the niche cladding material. The materials can warp or distort when subjected to high temperatures.

Installation

Preparing the worktop

Make the worktop cut-out following

the dimensions applicable. Remember to maintain a minimum safety distance from the back wall, as well as from any tall unit or side wall to the right or left of the hob. See "Safety instructions for installation".

Seal the cut surfaces on

wood/laminated worktops with a suitable heat-resistant sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture.

If, during installation, you find that the seals on the corners of the frame are not flush with the worktop, the corner radius ß R4, can be carefully scribed to suit.

These hobs have a seal underneath them to keep the hob securely in position. Clamps are not required. Any gap between the frame and worktop will reduce with time.

Installing the hob

Feed the hob connection cable down

through the cut-out.

Place the hob centrally in the cut-out.

When doing this make sure that the seal under the hob sits flush with the worktop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effective seal all round. Do not use sealant.

Connect the hob to the mains.

Check that the hob works.

General installation tips Do not use any sealant unless

expressly instructed to do so. The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

Do not use sealant between the frame of the top part of the appliance and the worktop. This could cause difficulties if the appliance ever needs to be taken out for servicing and possibly result in damage to the frame or the worktop.
